So how are the student accommodations now, Phan? Are you enjoying yourself?

I've been away a long time so have missed what's going on with people. Have to check in more!

Don't mess with Texas! We mess up enough by ourselves.I have actually made bullets like they're doing in my avatar. Then loaded the gun with a ramrod, and shot it. But I'm not feeling real good about guns right now.

Hehe... I had my birthday on the 18th (wow, I’m almost 30...), and a few days prior, I got this in the mail. No card or return address other than the company, which weirded me out a bit... but it turns out that my sister ordered it for me and intended for a card to be included; the company just forgot.

Just got back from seeing the Swedish Les Mis, and I was pleasantly surprised by the translations. Also, since I've only seen the show in London before, it was interesting to see how the blocking and sets were adapted to a stage without the revolve. Some things that stood out (and I don't know if it's common or not) were that after people died (Fantine, Éponine and Gavroche) the kind of just stood up and walked towards a white light. Fantine remained on the stage until after CoaC, and sang with little Cosette at the "Cosette, I love you very much).

Also, all the barricade boys died very close to the edge of the stage and then remained there until Empty chairs, when they stood and left. I haven't decided yet if I liked it or not. One thing I did like about that was that the women from the barricade found them and it was all kinds of emotions.

In any case, though, I love it!

Wow, my birthday is coming soon and if anyone could get me this as a gift I'd be the happiest person in the world!And belated happy birthday to you!

Ooooh dear! Now I reeeaaally want to see this production because I've always wanted Castle On A Cloud to be a duet with Fantine and Cosette. Had I been there I'd probably have cried my eyes out even though it was just this one line. Listening to dead and living people (especially if they are families) sing together would kill me.

Share, please Would love to see photos from your production! Perhaps there may be some video later on as well?

On a completely different note, but because I'm in a share mood tonight; my seasonal depression is really kicking my ass at the moment I have a ton of school work to do and stuff to prepare before my internship starts in two weeks, but I'm so lacking in motivation I can't bring myself to do much else but watch old Law & Order SVU reruns. Anyone have any wisdom to share on how to throw this funk off?

I don't have files for them yet - the ones on our media server were only up until the day before those were taken, and I forgot to even check the server yesterday - but was just seeing them on the camera window. Will certainly get them, and we have managed to agree to have our last night filmed too! There will be streaming! May not be able to share stuff openly because of the job thing yada yada (though our twitter account has some earlier rehearsal photos and even a couple of videos) but obviously will find a way.

Havvy is super good at organising tasks and getting things done, I bet she'll have some good advice for you!
